Chapter 4: The Grand Barrier

Galen is not yet accustomed to the climate of this magnificent barrier mountain range, and altitude sickness is normal. Galen didn't want to do anything now, didn't want to eat anything, so he sat down and rested, Galen was very uncomfortable now, and wanted to faint, but he couldn't faint no matter what, so he could only watch them set up camp and divert his attention. By the time they had done all the work, Galen had improved, but he was still dizzy. It was time to eat, and the mercenaries had begun to talk about something new, and Galen listened attentively, forgetting the feeling of vomiting for a while.

When they talked about this magnificent barrier mountain range, all the people complained, this mountain range runs through the entire Valoran continent, dividing the continent into north and south parts, it is the largest mountain range in the Valoran continent, there is only one gap in the entire mountain range, this gap is called Mogro Pass, but this gap is connected to the Shurima Desert, everyone knows that Shurima is now a dead place, with very strange desert creatures. I have heard others say that Mogro Pass is guarded by sand soldiers all the year round, and the sand soldiers can't kill them all, and this pass can't be passed at all, so they can only climb over the magnificent barrier.

Galen had only seen the map of the city-state of Demacia, not the map of the entire continent, and to hear them say this, it turned out that the magnificent barrier mountain range was so big, running through the entire Valoran continent, and nature was truly magical. Of course, the caravan complained that the mountain range was because the mountain range blocked their way, and it was more difficult for them to walk, but because of this magnificent barrier, the profits of their own low-value goods were increased nearly a hundred times, and they didn't know that because of the blockage of this mountain range, the two strongest city-states of Lockus and Demacia did not invade to the south, and the strange creatures in the south did not go to the human world to make trouble because of this mountain range.

The temperature above the mountains is a bit low, but it is acceptable, Galen has adapted to the climate in the high mountains, there are already many stars in the sky, but it is not very bright, looking at the gray mountains in the distance, Galen knows that there is still a long way to go. Galen looked at the carriages and wondered how they could have crossed the mountains, what they thought. The wind in the mountains grew stronger, and Galen had no intention of enjoying the scenery, so he went into the tent.

A new day has come, Galen is awakened by the sun, the higher places will see the sun earlier, the sun is rising, and now the sun is neither dazzling nor warm. Galen began to practice his swordsmanship as usual, until half an hour later, when everyone woke up. Galen knew it was time to pack his things. "You know," said the team leader, "you know that the wagon cannot cross this mountain, so you have to unload the horses from the wagons, unload the goods, and put them on the horses anew, and put all the tents, pots and pans here and hide them, and you can't bring these things over." "There was nothing surprising that everyone knew from the beginning, but Galen was a little surprised.

The Ford leader looked at Galen as if he was in doubt, and said to Galen: "Young man, the road you have been walking these days has been without danger, and if there is no danger all the time, you can make a very large profit, it is impossible." The next two days were the most dangerous, crossing the magnificent barrier, with only two days of food and water, and the horses only loaded with goods, and we had to go all the way for both days. If you encounter an unexpected situation and can't go on halfway, you will have to stay in the magnificent barrier mountain range forever. ”

When Galen heard the team leader's words, it meant that the next two days were a critical time, and it should be extremely dangerous, and it was a good time to exercise himself, Galen thought thoughtlessly. After more than an hour after everyone began to unload the wagons, everything was packed, the wagons and tents were put away and hidden, and the horses were loaded with goods. The team leader Ford said, "Let's start to set off, let's face the difficulties we have to encounter with infinite passion!"

After a few hours, the mountain got higher and the sun became stronger, and the people couldn't stand it anymore, and the horses loaded with goods were panting all the time. Seeing this situation, the Ford leader had no choice but to tell everyone to stop and rest. Then the horse team found a large rock that could block the sun, walked behind the stone and rested. Captain Ford looked at the sunshine, it was stronger than when he walked before, and he couldn't leave for the next few hours, thinking that he only had food and water for two days and two nights, so he could only hurry at night, and rest from 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the afternoon during the day.

Then he said: "It's summer, I can't walk during the day, only at night, and we only have food and water for two days, so I decided to rest from 10 o'clock in the day to 4 o'clock in the afternoon." You start to rest now, you have to get up by 4 p.m., and then you walk for almost 20 hours in a row, and if you don't have the energy, you can't go on, and no one will wait for you if you fall behind, you know?"

Everyone saw the severity of the situation and knew that there was no way to do it, but how could they sleep at noon today. I had no choice but to close my eyes and rest. Galen was very energetic, and he didn't mean to rest at all, and the team leader saw that Galen didn't rest, and said: "Hurry up and rest, otherwise there will be no time to rest later." Galen replied yes, and when the leader left, he began to get up in a daze, unable to sleep at all, and it was difficult to close his eyes.

In this way, Lint was in a daze until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was rested, got up, and the caravan began to depart. After 4 o'clock, the sun was not so hot, but the stones on the mountain were very hot, and it was a little hot to walk, but everyone didn't care, and the team began to set off for the mountain. Soon it was evening, and the people were still moving on, and it was getting dark.

Galen was still very energetic, so he pulled a horse and slowly walked up the mountain, so that more than ten horses slowly climbed up. Finally, at midnight, Galen couldn't stand it anymore, sleepiness swept through his mind, and he couldn't help but want to sleep, but seeing that the others had no intention of stopping, Galen also knew that he couldn't stop, so he forcibly cheered up and got on the horse. The leader of the team saw that Galen was a little exhausted, so he walked up to Galen, gave Galen a few green fruits, and said, "This is the wild fruit I picked on the road, it is very sour, if you can't help but want to sleep, just take a bite to ensure that you can refresh for two hours." Galen put the fruit in his hand and thanked Team Leader Ford. Then he continued to pull his horse forward.

Galen persevered for another hour, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, took out the fruit given by the leader, and took a bite without hesitation, and then a feeling of freezing thousands of miles appeared in his mind, and it felt like a dying person jumping directly alive, and his whole mind was blank. What followed was incomparably sour and bitter, just like taking a bite of a lemon through the peel, and like chewing a super green plum raw, it was cool and crooked, and the whole person was about to explode, and there was no sleepiness at all. Now Galen feels like he can slay a dragon, full of energy.

Just at this sour feeling in the mouth of the Galen ninja, walking forward, the taste of that fruit could be maintained for so long, until dawn, Galen was still very refreshed. It was not so easy to walk at night, and some of the goods were damaged, but it was still acceptable. The early sun began to rise, it was already more than 7 o'clock, and when I saw that the eyes of all the mercenaries were dark, I knew that such a rush was very draining. Galen couldn't see himself, but he knew he wasn't any better.

Captain Ford said, "You can rest after walking for another three hours, you can see that the top of this mountain range is not far away, and you can reach the top of the mountain in two hours." "When everyone saw that the top of the mountain was not far away, they all forced themselves to cheer up and continue walking.

The sourness of the fruit finally passed, and Galen was sleepy again, but Galen did not dare to gnaw on the fruit anymore, and he put the fruit in front of him, looked at it, and immediately felt a lot more energetic, so he continued to hurry. It's the first time Galen has been so sleepy, and his previous workouts are really nothing compared to this. Thinking that he might be able to become stronger because of this, Galen forcibly endured it.

Two hours later, the caravan had finally reached the top of the Great Barrier Mountain Range, and had finally completed half of the way, and everyone's mood was relieved, and there were no casualties, which was already the best news. The tour leader encouraged them, "Take a short walk and find a calmer place to rest." Everyone slowly moved around again.

After half an hour, they finally found a place where the sun was not shining, and people began to unload the goods, and when they were done, everyone was out of strength. Most of the people casually found a flat stone and lay down, Galen was the first to sleep, making a thunderous sound of sleep, but no one cared, and everyone fell asleep at once. The horses also closed their eyes and rested.

Galen heard someone call him up in a daze, Galen slowly opened his eyes, it turned out that it was already afternoon. Galen only felt like he had only been asleep for 15 minutes before waking up, and that time had passed too quickly. But the reality is that more than 6 hours have passed, and everyone has also gotten up, and some people are still yawning, obviously not sleeping enough. But there was no way, everyone began to eat a little dry food, and then loaded the goods on horseback, and after loading, Ford said to go, and the caravan began to move slowly.

Galen felt a little numb in his body, and it was estimated that he had not completely rested, but the conditions did not allow it, so he could only start to set off with the caravan. Galen thought that the way down the mountain would be easier to walk, but when it came time to go down, Galen found that he was wrong, and the way down the mountain should be more careful, and it was slower than going up the mountain. The caravan walked slowly until evening, and the caravan was very stable.

At night, the road is even more difficult to walk, although there is some starlight, but it is still not possible to fully see the road under your feet. Everyone was careful, walking step by step, with the experience of last night, Galen had some experience and learned how to see the road. It is rare to trip over a stone along the way, and although you will not be injured if you are tripped, it will consume your physical strength and make you very embarrassed.

In this way, the caravan went on until midnight, and there was nothing special about the caravan, and sometimes the horses missed and broke a few goods, which was not a big deal. Suddenly, a mercenary led the horse on a big rock, he did not know that the stone was unstable, the stone suddenly saved itself, the horse was frightened, so he neighed and broke free, and then the horse fell down with the stone, and the man who led the horse kept his hand on a stone and said to pull me up. The man in Galenley had recently pulled him up, and when he came up, he didn't have any expression, as if he was used to it. Finally I heard the sound of the glass bottle breaking, and the mournful cry of the horse, and there was no more.
